What Causes My Laptop Crashes?

Hello Apple Community!


So I've been having this problem for months. I've first noticed in the fall of 2014 that my laptop would crash when using Final Cut Pro X. I add an effect, text, color, or just anything that needed rendering: COMPUTER CRASH. Sometimes I may be opening up Photoshop or some other program: COMPUTER CRASH. But mainly it's been with FCPX. I've created a copy of the FCP File (or library) and it helped somewhat. I've also replaced the memory and that has also helped somewhat. Just recently I had formatted my drive and it definitely sped things up, but FCP still gives me the same issues. I'm just trying to figure out what it is. I guess a new computer? Or having to spend a fortune on maintenance at the apple store (and my Apple Care expired years ago and it costs so much to get that replaced too). So is it Yosemite? My Internal Hard Drive, My Memory, or FCP?


OVERALL... I JUST NEED HELP OR A SOLUTION BEFORE I GO TO THE APPLE STORE TO BURN MY POCKETS!


Below is the report of what happens after my computer crashes. It'll say "Your computer shut down because there was a problem"

You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.

Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.

You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.

Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.

If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.

Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
